Hey there, The Bologna Children’s Book Fair is around the corner, and and I know many of you are going. Unfortunately I’m not going to make it this year, but I was lucky enough to go in 2023. I had a blast hanging out with other members of the guild, meeting fellow creatives, and exhibiting at the Australian stand. Before I went, I had a million and one questions and I wished I had someone who could answer them for me…. The Illoguild had a live chat where we tried to answer as many questions as possible. If you are going to the fair (and even if you’re not going) have a read through our newsletter and watch the replay of our conversation. We share what goes on there, how to prepare and how to make the most of your time there. Enjoy! -
